Exercise

"Supervised Aerobic Exercises: Conducted every two weeks, three days a week (on days 11-13 post-systemic treatment). The supervised aerobic exercises will consist of 20 minutes on a treadmill at a heart rate corresponding to 55-75% of the Karvonen formula. Warm-up and cool-down will be performed at 30-40% of the Karvonen heart rate for 5 minutes.~Supervised Resistance Exercises: Conducted every two weeks on consecutive days (days 11 and 13 post-systemic treatment).~Resistance training will involve 12 different exercises targeting major muscle groups, using body weight and resistance bands, at an effort level of 5-7 on the Borg scale, with 8-12 repetitions and 1-3 sets. The intensity will be progressively adjusted based on the individual's perceived exertion.~On weeks without supervised exercises, participants will follow a home exercise program that includes breathing exercises, walking for 20-30 minutes, and resistance exercises."
